Hi there

I'm currently improving our H&S policy as a residential building firm. My background is with commercial and industrial sites so I'm finding it difficult to dial it back to a residential level as I'm finding there is a lot of "blind eye " and "she'll be right, just get it done" attitudes.
I'd like to ask what your experiences are and thoughts on this.

Also which company would you choose between (A) a company with 5 tradies that has a below average H&S standard and average build quality but reasonable prices or (B) a company with 5 tradies that has an above standard H&S and clean professional and high quality skill set but is 15-20 percent more expensive?

Thanks Stace.

When busy Lyn McDonald found out she had won Lottery No. 105's first prize, she made a quick call to her mum, saying,

"I can't talk right now, but I've just won a house!"

Her news was met with scepticism by her family, with someone even telling her daughter that it was a scam. But it was all very real, especially when Lyn received the keys to her brand new Papamoa dream home.

She celebrated this special moment with a number of her family, including her mum and daughters, with party poppers and sparkling grape juice to toast the new home.

"I wrote 'Lyn won this, woohoo!' on the house picture," Lyn says. "And it obviously worked."

A deserving winner, Lyn is quite well-known around Auckland having run a bird rescue service there for years. "I've spent 32 years in bird rescue," she says, "and many locals have brought me a bird to care for at some stage."

Lyn says her new home will be great for the family to stay at when visiting her mother, who lives in Papamoa, as well as for holidays at the beach.
